5. Outdoor Air (ventilation) Load
5.1 How to Calculate Each Approximate Load
5.1 A (US unit)
The ventilation air load can be calculated with the following formula if the required ventilation intake volume "Q CFM" is known:
(Ventilation air load) = γ · Q
F
3 2
= γ [lb/ft ] × S[ft ] × k × n [occupant/ft
γ : Specific air gravity - 0.0749 lb/ft
S : Building's airconditioned area
k : Thermal coefficient; generally 0.7 - 0.8.
n : The average population concentration is the inverse of the occupancy area per person. If the number of persons in the
room is unclear, refer to the Floor space per person table below.
Vf : Ventilation air intake volume per occupant
Refer to the Required ventilation air intake volume per occupant table below.
i : Ventilation air enthalpy - Btu/lb
O
i : Indoor enthalpy - Btu/lb
R
